Associated PressDavid Ortiz of the Red Sox was 0-for-7 after two games - and in no mood to talk about it.Readers react to Ron Chimelis' column on Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz' obscenity-laced rant in response to reporters' questions about his 0-for-7 start:

stiremup says:
"The theory that Ortiz started hitting after two months last year and then did great is weak, very weak. How many games did the RS lose over that 2 month period that they might have won had Ortiz been hitting? And, where would they have ended up at year end? Maybe ahead of the NYY and have had better positioning for the playoffs? No way of knowing, but it could have changed the final results. Do you really think Francona will have it in him to make a change?"

towney007 says:
"The guy had a better second half than anyone in baseball last year, trimmed down and has had 8 at-bats this year and we're already losing our sh-t over whether he's going to hit or not. If he hits, he hits. If he doesn't, they'll go get someone who can. I don't see why this needs to be pondered every time he steps into the batters box.
I've been a Red Sox fan my whole life and I can't remember a season that comes even remotely close to this one in terms of the paranoia around this team. People need to take some paxil."
